The Old Man and the Sea    Santiago is an old Cuban fisherman who has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish. His young apprentice, Manolin, is forbidden by his parents to fish with him anymore because they believe that Santiago is bringing bad luck. One day, Santiago sets out alone in his skiff to fish off the coast of Cuba. He casts his line and waits patiently for a bite.    After two days, Santiago finally feels a fish on his line. He struggles to land the fish, which is much larger than he is. The fish pulls the skiff far out to sea, and Santiago is forced to fight for two days and nights to land it.    Finally, Santiago lands the fish, but it is so large that he cannot bring it into the skiff. The fish dies, and Santiago ties it to the side of the skiff. He is exhausted, but he is also proud of his accomplishment.   That night, a school of sharks attacks the fish. Santiago fights them off with a harpoon, but they eventually eat most of the fish. By the time Santiago reaches shore, he is left with only the skeleton of the fish.   Manolin is waiting for Santiago when he arrives. He helps Santiago carry the skeleton of the fish to his shack. Santiago is disappointed, but he is also grateful for the experience. He knows that he has faced his greatest challenge and has emerged victorious. Hemingway, Ernest. The Old Man and the Sea. Charles Scribner's Sons, 1952. The story's narrative is told from Santiago's perspective, allowing readers to experience his thoughts, feelings, and motivations.
